How are folks finding their new chassis? Have earn a lot of brownie points lately and could get one, the major benefit being that I wouldn't need to bed at it in. Have folks noticed an improvement in accuracy over the factory plastic stock?

Might be a bit of a silly question...but do these fit a Sako A7?
I'm not sure if the A7 and TiKa have the same bottom metal shape and configuration?
Thanks
What have folks done for the butt / recoil pad?...
Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....
Hi Darren
I’m keen to give one of these a try as I can’t hold my standard stock properly anymore due to a wrist injury. I’m local so when I get a chance I’ll come in to try one out. Are they still the same price and if I’m keen should I bring my rifle with me to fit up?
Cheers mark
@DPT, Hey Guys, any chance you might be interested in developing one of these for a Howa Mini Action?
I would be happy to drop in a New 6.5 Grendel Barrelled Action on Monday to get you started.
I need to get it threaded (maybe shortened) for a DPT overbarrel at some stage anyway.
Hi,
Yes bring your rifle and we can suppress it for you.
You can talk to Darren about your chassis project then,but I doubt that it will go ahead due to the lack of market (sales) , the high cost of development and also because the oryx chassis for the Howa mini is coming out at a very competitive price.
It is a shame Nick that you guys can’t expand the range for these Hunter chassis. But I totally understand the economics of that, these days. I love mine and wouldn’t swap it for anything.
I did a side-by-side test with a standard Tikka with my mate a couple of weeks ago. He shot my Hunter chassis (18” .308, 165gr @2,560fps) and he couldn’t believe how the chassis handled the recoil. Mine does not have any form of padding on the butt, because it doesn’t need it. The straight buffer tube and aluminium butt work extremely well.
Then we dropped my barrelled action into his plastic stock, and repeated. There was a marked increase in felt recoil, for both of us, despite the factory stock having the soft pad.
Then he shot a 3 shot group his standard T3. 308, using Federal PowerShock, then repeated the test with his barrelled action in my chassis. The second group was roughly 1/2 to 2/3 the diameter of the plastic stock group. My Hunter chassis rifle will shoot half MOA reliably and repeatedly from a good rest, whereas when it was in the laminated factory stock it could only just make 1 MOA on a good day. I had to add aluminium pillars and epoxy bed that laminated stock, and epoxy bed the bottom metal, to get it to shoot acceptably. After I’ve done all that I tried the chassis, and just stuck with it!
The Hunter is a great product and a really good option for an all weather, all conditions carry rifle.
At the moment just under a week, but that can change quickly with the roar just around the corner.
Hey @Friwi, have you considered doing a Tikka chassis that accepts AI style mags?
